![]() Two years ago on this program, I spoke with Kevin Cook, the author of "Kitty Genovese: The Murder, The Bystanders, The Crime That Changed America." Here's what Cook says happened that night. And that fact - the idea that no one came to her aid - became the stuff of urban legend.ĬORNISH: The case led to research in what came to be called the bystander effect - the idea that people might not report a crime if they think others will take action. It was reported that 38 people had witnessed her struggle but did not call the police. On March 13, 1964, in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens, Moseley stalked, stabbed and raped Genovese over the course of half an hour. He was 81 and had spent nearly 52 years in prison for the brutal murder of Catherine Kitty Genovese. AUDIE CORNISH, BYLINE: We learn today that convicted killer Winston Moseley has died. ![]()
